Innisfil Journal

INNISFIL — A 78-year-old Innisfil man was charged after he brandished a knife in front of a woman Dec. 27.
The woman was clearing snow in front of her house at about 10 a.m. when a man pulled up in a vehicle and showed her a knife while making a threatening gesture, police say.
The man was known to her and had been placed on a peace bond in November that included the condition of not being within 100 meters of her residence. This adult female was fearful of this threat and called 911 immediately to notify the police about the incident.
Uniform officers arrived on scene and located the man still in his vehicle a short distance away. He was placed under arrest for the offence of weapons dangerous. Additional charges of Utter Threats and Breach of Recognizance were laid. The accused was held in custody over night to await his bail hearing in Barrie.
